TWO bad TS MP8's

I have 2 MP8's......both with apparently old programming.

My truck sometimes would have the correct boost fooling and sometimes wouldn't....saturday it did not and ran hot all day. sunday it did, ran stronger and cooler. Sometimes it would work right, sometimes it would bog and leave a smoke cloud as big as the ford festiva behind me or it wouldn't smoke and it would GO!!

my other MP8 is pinned for an 06 truck...its on my buddy's truck. he was running WOT and it hung at WOT until he turned the MP8 down....TS says its out of date and needs new programming.


I tried to run a BDDL/ Juice / MP8 stack and it wouldn't work...made noise that wasn't good....TST/ BDDL / MP8 did the same thing.....took the MP8 off today.....put the BDDL on crazy larry with the TST on 1/1 and it hauls butt! (and then blew my stock flex plate )

I would bet theres a lot of MP8's out there with old programming....i have TWO of them.

I never had a problem with my MP8, I had Dennis Perry program mine for a TST stack. From what he told me he detunes it a little for the stack.

Call TS and ask for Dennis

Every time I call TS I ask for Dennis, and if hes not there I call back. I don't want to talk to anyone but Dennis.

Dennis will take good care of you

I figured out the TS was screwing me up. TST works WELL now with NO TS MP8.....

well it was working well....TST 1/1 with crazy larry blew the flex plate. i immediately slapped it into Neutral and coasted to a stop....James said that probably saved my torque converter since i never tried to drive it with the blown flex plate.

Yall should hear the noise it makes....its horrible.
